betray

'show' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'signs of non-atomic form of radiation' is the wordplay.
'signs of non atomic form of' becomes 'bet' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'radiation' becomes 'ray' (ray is a kind of radiation).
'bet'+'ray'='BETRAY'

Can you help me to learn more?
